Homes for Our Troops is a national group which builds mortgage-free homes for severely injured veterans.

They built a house named “Sally,” equipped with the technology to fit his needs.

Sally will talk to Marts and help him get around.

But for the family, it’s special in more ways than one.

This is the first home Marts and his wife will ever live in.

They’ve lived in a trailer for over 20 years.

“I still keep pinching myself. I felt at home,” said Eric’s wife Bobbi Marts. “I think seeing all my children and our grandchildren in here and our family members, I was like ‘wow’ I can’t wait for Christmas.”

But Eric Marts feels something else too.

“I can feel the love that it is given,” he said.

He’s just glad about one thing.

“I was told it was yellow, I hope that is true,” Eric said. “My wife said something about painting something pink.”
